Which OW hero would you like next?

General Discussion

A zone of invulnerable/untargetable/protected would probably be the answer.

Winston’s could probably make it in as a shared shield. Everyone within the AoE gets a set amount of shields, and whenever any of them take damage the shared shield’s health is reduced by however much damage was taken. Even better if the same instance of damage hitting multiple targets only deals 1 instance of damage to the shield to prevent AoEs from nuking it.

If replies are any judge, it would seem there is more interest in Overwatch heroes as than all other franchises, with Warcraft getting the lowest replies, aside from Nexus originals.

In an ideal world we should have one of each universe coming out each year. I can’t believe we were once spoiled with so many new heroes a year, it seems like a world ago.

But isn’t he too similar too hammer in OW? That means he would need a creative rework like Mei.

Right, that was the idea I put forward. He doesn’t have a basic attack in Sentry Mode, instead he has a channeled rapid-fire skillshot.
That alone would be incredibly unique, and we can base the rest of his kit around that.

That’s probably a combination of factors.

Warcraft is so low because there really isn’t much discussion to be had over the given heroes. People were mostly just throwing out names and moving on because so many of the characters can be interpreted in so many ways that there’s sort of an overload of possibilities to get people interested. Pair that with people getting a bit tired of WC additions, and the thread would naturally fizzle pretty fast.

This thread has so many replies because OW heroes have more concrete basis for discussion to start from. There are fewer heroes and they already have their core identity and abilities predefined. There’s enough information to foster discussion but not so much as to smother it.
Also, I’m pretty sure SMILE’s bullheadedness on why we can’t possibly add this hero or that hero over vague similarities to existing heroes is responsible for probably a good quarter or more of the replies in this thread. Controversy draws attention.

Not sure if they will ever implement the strongest noobstomper from OW into HotS.

I agree with all this, I felt myself that’s the reason too. It’s just a nice change from the usual “Overwatch ruined HOTS”, maybe the community has finally moved past that?

I suspect that’s because they just have other things to blame for ruining the game now.
Like these new Loan talents or something. :roll_eyes:

More like an immobile Tychus because rapid fire and ult turns him into a new hero
Tychus with a self heal tho :eyes:

Yea I noticed that as well. Now I am not a WOW hater but I feel most are generally tired of WOW heroes. Also nexus originals tend to be a wired topic.

Though for the record I am not against either of them being added.

After Mei, Pharah will be the next hero in the Nexus.

97

Always wanted Sombra or Echo as the next to get added. They could both fit in as a sup hero.

But Chen has already one of his core abilitys as heroic: Keg. I hope he wouldn’t be too similar to Chen. XD

Eww! Well nobody here is claiming the game is thriving. The Devs have said they are still working on new heroes, perhaps we will get one new hero a year.
